“Well, the thing is, I... er... wait, what was I talking about?”
~ John Lennon on Sgt. Lt. Pepper's Only Lonely Hearts Club Bandana
“It's really like a concept, right? So, we... we take this concept, and we put it into action, and then we make the album! Right? Ooh, look at the pretty stars...”
~ Paul McCartney on Sgt. Lt. Pepper's Only Lonely Hearts Club Bandana
“I don't know what it's about, I'm just trying to get me records on the air.”
~ George Harrison on Sgt. Lt. Pepper's Only Lonely Hearts Club Bandana
“I don't know either, I just like to have some fun.”
~ Ringo Starr on Sgt. Lt. Pepper's Only Lonely Hearts Club Bandana
Sgt. Lt. Pepper's Only Lonely Hearts Club Bandana is an album by that fab group of moptops from Liverpool known only as The Beatles. Recorded in November 1966, the album epitomized the now frequent drug use of the band. The Beatles had two major sources of inspiration: Psychoactive Drugs, and the 1966 Beach Boys album, Dog Shit. Infuriated that the Yankee bastard Brian Wilson had attempted to top their album Rubber Mole, the group got together and recorded one of the most under-the-influential albums in music history. So, everything was fine and they all lived happily after... except Paul, who of course actually died in a Rascall accident during the production of Revolter. But, who cares about that anyway? Ooh, look at the colors, man...

[edit] Controversy
The album was the center of major controversy when the media noticed that the initials of the track Kenny In The Tabernacle Entrance Now Having Under Fifty Friends spelled out KITTENHUFF. The BBC were horrified at the discovery and still refuse to play this song. John Lennon, however said he got the title of the song from a picture drawn by his son Julian "Take A Sad Song And Make It Better" Lennon... "The little bugger came up to me after school and showed me his shitty picture. He said it was his friend Kenny, in some sort of Tabernacle (Hell, even I didn't know what that meant). He also drew in exactly 49 friends for Kenny, so he had, like, under 50 friends, right? So two hours later I thought, "Hey! Why don't me and the boys make a song out of it". And so we did. And then... Woah... Have you ever really looked at your fingers before?"

[edit] Influence on other musicians
A lot. Well basically every musician who came along said the album influenced them. The Beatles themselves were under the influence during most of the recording.
[edit] Drug Use? Nah...
The album is usually hailed as the first really druggy album of The Beatles but according to John Lennon they were only Kitten Huffing at the time.
